Full History Of the Haddock Murder
Case, from tho Crime to tho
End of the Trial.
Portraits Of People Who Figured
Prominently in this Cele-
brated Case.

Without exsggeration, or fear of magnify
ing its importance, 1t is certain that no crime
since the assassination Of President Garfield
has attracted such widespread attention ~ the
murder of Rev. Geo c. Haddock which &C.
Cured in Sioux City, Iowa, on the night of
August 3, 1885, Interest in this celebrated
case is not one whit abated by the close of tho
remarkable trial Of John Aronsdorf, charged
with that murder, and so, on account of this
unusual and widespread interest, we give in
these following columns summary and his
tory Of the scenes and events leading to the
trial, with sketches of some of the chief par
ticipants in the tragedy and it's sequel Crimes
arc occurring daily. Local newspapers in all
parts of the country contain weekly accounts
of murders and hangings. Many Of these
events are hardly heard Of outside the county

peculiar and Sensational interest, tho news Of
these crimes finds it's way into the telegraphic
columns Of the dailies, and is spread broad
cast But crime like this in point, which 10
known OF and discussed wherever there are
there il something more behind it than the
shedding Of ono mans blood. Tho increase
OF crime has become too general; the curse of
Cain has become too common, for murder to
arouse the wonder and adherence of the
world 1t large unless the victim or criminal
holds, from some cause or other, = notable po-
sition in business or social life, or, as in this
case, great principles arc involved
The great and growing question of prohibi-
ton was tho causWs beli in thoHaddock muir
dor, and to properly understand the case in
all its bearings, and to realize the state Of
feeling and sentiment which preceded the
crime, it is necessary briefly to review the
history of the liquor question in Iowa, and to
analyze the elements which go to make up it's
populace.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 1.-THE ar
rest Of Elisha Greig last night revealed a
plot to commit arson and murder. On
Sunday night the residence of Jesse No
Ian, farmer in Davidson county, was
burned, and the inmates, Miss Matte Or
ment and Mrs. Hamlet, barely escaped
cremation. The fire was supposed to be
'fncendiary, and last night Grcig made q
confession of having set fire to the house.
He said he had been hired by farmer
neighbor, jim Bulleyjack, to burn the
place. Bulleyjack had planned, he
said, to burn Miss Or
ment, who had refused him in
marriage. The plan was to catch her if
she escaped burning and murder her.
After they set fire TO the house both got
frightened and aroused the ladies, who
were alone, Mr.. n laa being in Nashville
The men ran off before The ladies, who
had barely time to get out, could see who
they were. Greig was arrested on sus-
picion and confessed as above related.
Bulleyjack has disappeared but officers
are after him.

AN EEGLISH MOVE.
Our Mails to bs Brought to New York in
Armed Vessels

Armed Vessels
New YORK, Feb. 1.-The details Of q
new ocean mail transportation between
England and New York, arranged by the
British Admiralty, We're received yester-
day The agreement has two distinct
phases, which may be separated into the
mail service and the war service. The
NEST interesting and certainly the most
novel feature of the new arrangement il
that which concerns the employment OF
mall boats in the emergency of war. It
is thus described: Hitherto when war
broke out freightS rose enormously, and
the hiring of steamers as transports or
cruisers was an OnerOuS burden on
the in itional eXchequer. 1t was also
harvest time for steamship owners. The
new arrangement with mail contractors
is to provide against this contingency and
to give the government the power OF en-
gaging their vessels on fair terms, settled
not under the pressure of urgent neces-
sity, but in peaceful times by anticipa-
ton. Concurrently with the mail con-
tracts the admiralty have made subsidi-
airy arraL cement with the White Star Com
pany by which the service can be secured
by nation at peace prices in the event of
the transports being required, and the
same agreement provides the construc-
ton of new vessels by that company of q
type to meet the naval requirements as
armed cruisers. For these vessels, which
are to be the largest and fastest
vessels float, an annual subvention Is to
be paid in consideration of the owners
building them to meet the admiralty de-
signs. Thus at q moderate cost the cOun-
try will secure the nucleus OF feet Of
reserved armed cruisers of great speed
and formidable fighting powers. Messrs.
Harland and Wolf of Belfast are to build
the new ships, and as they will have twin
screws and be divided into numerous
water-tight compartments they will be
plsc7d Beyond sill ordinary chance of dis
allotment. A similar arrangement mas
been negotiated with the Cunard Com
psny, and it is also stated that the
Messrs. Laird are preparing designs for
the Inman Company for new vessel also
to comply with the requirements of tine
department in White Hall.

before whom the case of George Withrow,

tracks of the Washington Avenue Street
Railway during the street car strike of
two years ago, returned verdict of not
guilty this morning. Withrow turned
states evidence when the cases CT the
other alleged dynamiters were being tried,
but when put on the witness stand refused

alleged confessions, and the Jury consid-
cred this insufficient for conviction.
Withrow has been awaiting trial for
eighteen months.
